I've been fascinated with large birds like Parrots,Macaws and Cockatoos since I was kid. Lately I have seen several to re-homed on craigslist and have been having thoughts of selling a couple of my rc's to fund the purchase.
I just found out today that a small pet shop across town has several birds on hand and spent a couple of hours there talking to their trainer and playing with the birds. My favorite I wanted to take home was the Sulfur Crested Cockatoo(Fred if you're old enough to remember "Baretta"). As soon as I walked up to the cage it said "I Love You" and put it's head where I could pet it. I can't do the $1800 from there though On craigslist they've been $500-$800
Just wondering if anyone here has one and can give me some firsthand info on owning one. I do know they can be noisy,poop a lot and most require a lot of attention.
